In reply to the ban, Google told Dailystar.co.uk: "We recommend any cinemas concerned about Glass to treat the device as they treat similar devices like mobile phones - simply ask wearers to turn it off before the film starts.

“Broadly speaking, we also think it’s best to have direct and first hand experience with Glass before creating policies around it.

“The fact that Glass is worn above the eyes and the screen lights up whenever it’s activated makes it a fairly lousy device for recording things secretly."

Google Glass has been available in the US for some time and has already faced bans in casinos, restaurants, cinemas and strip clubs.

The high-tech specs arrived in the UK last week and now UK residents over 18 can now own a pair as part of the Google’s Explorer programme.

Just make sure you leave them at home before heading to the latest Hollywood blockbuster.
